Deez 'nauts!

This is true. But the police are restricted from using some of the tools that journalists (at least this one) used. That's backwards. I voted for the local sheriff. I didn't vote for some journalist who may be working with an agenda*. We have a principle of equal protection under the law. Not equal protection at the hands of the press.

*In this case, it appears not to be so.

Suspected terrorist. Yes.

With great power comes great responsibility. I don't think you'd like living in a society where might equals right.

What multiple of that 13 year sentence should the journalist get for violating the privacy of that poor terrorist?

Because the rest of us will be expected to pick up the cost of expensive socialized health care for those consequences.

No socialized health care? Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Sometimes, the source of inflammation is difficult to identify. An injury that isn't evident, an undiscovered tumor, or even an infected but asymptomatic tooth. But the existence of inflammation is easily evident. By detecting elevations in the bodies defenses in response to it.

That really doesn't make sense. All one would have to do with HEU is to dilute it with depleted uranium. A relatively simple process compared to enrichment. Plutonium is a somewhat different issue. But the concept wold be similar. Mix it to below weapons grade concentrations before releasing it for commercial/utility use. Nobody is suggesting selling a bunch of surplus demon cores as-is to utilities.

Hmm. Could have sworn I saw a shock wave in the evening news video.

Nope. JavaScript off here.

But they're not being done dirt cheap.

Foreign intelligence agencies recruiting Americans or conducting operations that cross our borders is a grey area. At some point, if what they discover is actionable here, they need to turn their information over to the FBI. The problem is: That then becomes a criminal case, which can tip their hand conducting further surveillance.

If you are a foreign agent inside the US, a sure way to see if counter-intel is on to you is to make a phone call and brag about the few thousand dollars in back taxes you hid from the IRS. They'll come after you for it and blow years of intelligence surveillance. That's why nobody talks to the IRS.

The CIA doesn't have police powers. The FBI does. Counter intelligence is a rather important duty of the FBI as well.

And often more effective. Because you are working with basically honest people. But our counter-intel people know this and watch for it. So I assume foreign intel outfits do as well.

Why not both?
